We ordered the # 1 on their menu which is ‘Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and Fries’ for $21.50. This comes with buttermilk chicken breast, tangy coleslaw, comeback sauce, pickles on a brioche bun. My fiancé chose level 3 for spice. I ordered the #2 which is...Read More

This place hands down has the best fried chicken in San Jose, if not in the bay area. Went on a Sunday for late lunch, and the place was packed. The restaurant itself is quite small and gives more takeaway vibes but they have some...Read More

I saw a reel on social media about this spot having a smashed burger so I was very intrigued to try. This place is located in downtown San Jose, which means parking was a bit harder to find. I ordered the Cheeseburger with fries and...Read More

I ordered the 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘀𝗵𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗵 with 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. Both were amazing. I had the sandwich sauced with 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶 / 𝗛𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗼, which gave it a sweet, fruity flavor with the perfect sting. The fries are thick-cut, like curly steak fries and the...Read More

The food is made fresh to order and cooked perfectly. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You have options for different spice levels. The servings are very large. I got chicken tenders because I wasn’t very hungry and wanted...Read More

We went to Scratch Cookery late on a Friday, and it was pretty packed. The line to order was a bit of a mess, but the food looked worth it. After getting a couple chicken sandwiches, I can confirm that the food was worth it. I...Read More

I’ve only seen the goodness on social media pics…until today. Today I experienced the goodness. The photo of the sandwich does it no justice, as it was much larger than it looks. The chicken was very tender and juicy….and the entire sando held up nicely...Read More

The best chicken burger I have had! I saw the pictures posted on other reviews and had to go here - and it surpassed expectations! I had the Nashville hot in the cheese toasted bread at a level 4 spice. I like spicy food, and could handle...Read More

Huge chicken sandos with a real kick for people who like actually spicy food! The Nashville chicken sandwich at level 5 spiciness was slightly spicier than a "regular" spicy Chinese dish. The fries are a very interesting shape and were perfectly hot and crispy on...Read More

We tried their food truck last weekend at an event and found out they have a storefront in DTSJ. I can't tell you how happy my husband and I were.....so happy that we thought about the chicken all week and visited their location tonight!...Read More

This was my first time trying Scratch Cookery, and I must say, it may be my favorite of the 'Nashville' style chicken places. I ordered a Level 2 (cayenne on both sides) of chicken tenders with fries. I don't know if I received Level 2...Read More

The best burger I’ve had. Phenomenal chicken sandwiches as well. Fries are ok and I do not recommend the nuggets. But you will be very happy with the burger or chicken sandwich.

Hands down the best fried chicken sandwich in San Jose! The chicken is always perfectly crispy and juicy, and you can choose from multiple spice levels—so there’s something for everyone. I usually stick with level #2, which has cayenne pepper on both sides—just the right...Read More

Scratch always comes through! It's worth figuring out parking. The Chicken Salad is spot on! Insane portions and the charred tomatoes are sooooo good! They also have pickled onions that are delish. Great job with consistency. ❤️❤️❤️

Came here with the girlfriend and ordered a chipotle jalapeno burger and a nashville hot chicken sandwich at level 4 hot. The burger was smashed to perfection, had amazing lacy edges and all in all was a next to perfect burger. I would say it is...Read More

Chicken was fire; I got the #3 grilled cheese chicken sandwich and the whole combo was insane. Portion sizes are very reasonable too

Mostly a chicken place but their smash burgers are fantastic, definitely worth a drop by for them. Fries are a bit above average too. Pricing here is what you expect for the location. Really cozy so very limited seating as well.

Take outDinner$10–20Atmosphere: 1No waitDifficult to find parkingPaid parking lot, Paid street parking$20 - $25 to park in parking lots. 5 minutes or 5 hours same price.Too many homeless violent people cussing abd yelling kicking and screaming at a garbage can. Then there was people smoking weed in front of everyone. Even a newborn baby. So, I really dont recommend that you bring kids. People sleeping everywhere.
